Antique Khotan Silk Rug Yellow Saffron Color

About the Item

This Antique Khotan Silk Rug is a splendid example of East Turkestan craftsmanship, showcasing a fusion of cultural designs that blend elements from China, Turkey, and Mongolia. The rug features a rich golden-yellow field, which serves as a luminous backdrop for the special patterns and symbols that adorn it. At the center is a circular medallion, possibly symbolizing eternity or the sun, executed in a rustic, burgundy hue that stands out against the vibrant background. Surrounding the central medallion is an array of traditional Eastern motifs, including stylized floral elements, auspicious symbols, and possibly abstract representations of cloud bands, all rendered in harmonious colors like royal blue, crimson, and shades of purple and orange. These motifs are arranged in a well-organized layout, creating a sense of order and sophistication. The wide border encapsulating the central field is divided into multiple decorative bands, each filled with its own unique pattern, including Greek keys, vases, and further floral designs. These bands use a vivid palette of purples, reds, blues, and oranges, giving the rug a regal and ornate appearance. The silk composition not only adds a lustrous sheen but also provides a smooth texture, highlighting the detail and craftsmanship of the rug. The combination of luxurious material, rich colors, and elaborate designs makes this Khotan rug a rare and exquisite piece, reflecting the artistry and cultural heritage of the region.
